After working some 15 years with web projects I have been both service provider and customer for a large number of different projects. I've seen and tried number of different methods how to run web projects. After both success and failure I have come to realize that agile scrum can fail just as easily as traditional waterfall models do when dealing with Drupal projects. Drupal in it's current versions can't really decide if it is a framework or a product and this creates some unique headaches...

Just after Szeged drupalcon, we won a competition for the building of a generic media platform for the french public national radio group, Radio France. The idea was to have some common basis for all their websites, grouped in a drupal website. Then each of their radio site, or any site they would produce, would be run under this platform. There was an economical interest for them as well as getting a dedicated team with a good knowledge of this platform. We will begin with some general aspect...

Fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries are the three technical ingredients for responsive web design, but it also requires a different way of thinking. Rather than quarantining our content into disparate, device-specific experiences, we can use media queries to progressively enhance our work within different viewing contexts. But a responsive design isnât limited to layout changes. Media queries allow us to practice some incredibly precise fine-tuning as our pages reshape themselves:...

The session will talk about the deficiencies of the SQL databases we use and how MongoDB goes around some of them and how Drupal makes good use of them. While you might have heard some of this at a previous DrupalCon, there will be new stuff enough to make this one unique and interesting. MongoDB 1.6 will be out by the conference so you will hear about the latest and greatest. At DCSF I only gave a glimpse at how Drupal can now fully run without SQL, there will be a lot more done by DC CPH too.

It will demonstrate the locale and content translation modules from core and some of the functionality provided by the i18n and views modules.

Mid 2009, France Télévisions, the French public national television group, decided to switch to a new CMS that would be able to suit all their internet content publishing needs. Since France Télévisions hosts more than 1000 sites, it was impossible to migrate all the sites at once. That's why a pilot site was chosen : the sports news site sport.francetv.fr.

Drupal lends itself well to modular, separately deployable code. This means you can often reduce quite large Drupal-based projects to sets of minimum deployable features (MDFs) - informally speaking, chunks of functionality which get a particular job done, and don't look weird on their own - which quickly start to take shape as Drupal development plans. But big (or mission-critical) projects need more certainty than that. They need to handle and where possible minimize risk: the possibility...
